God's people can make a difference in this nation,
if they are willing
to pay the price of personal
involvement.
"Government of the People,
by the People,
for the People, shall not perish
from the earth."
"One nation... under god!"
What does this mean?
It means that we have this land, this flag, this
government as a gift
from the great God almighty.
"We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties
of heaven. We have been preserved, these many
years,
in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers,
wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown.
But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten
the
gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and
multiplied and enriched and strengthened us;
and
we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of
our hearts, that all these blessings were produced
by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.
Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become
too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming
and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God
that made us! It behooves us, then to humble
ourselves before the offended Power, to confess
our national sins, and to pray for clemency
and forgiveness."
